Simple, compact molecular platforms with performances similar to that of laboratory-based testing have created new opportunities to move testing nearer to the patient, along with challenges to wise use of such technologies. At one time medical students were responsible for delivering babies; it was a different era in medical education.

In laboratory testing, even simple routine testing, the laboratory community needs to maintain a presence; but what sort of presence, at what distance, remains to be seen. The coronavirus disease COVID pandemic has brought laboratory testing into public awareness as never before.

Schools, workplaces, even sports teams want rapid, accessible testing services. New technologies come with opportunities and risks, possibilities and limitations. Esther Babady: The menu for POCT, that is, testing that can be performed at the bedside or near patients, for infectious diseases IDs is currently still quite limited. The Soxieties sensitivity and specificity of antigen or manual tests makes them perfect candidates for transition to molecular POCT.

Current offerings are focused on the diagnosis of respiratory infections and strep throat. The benefit of these specific tests being offered in a POC setting is clear.

Patients with these illnesses often present in an Centralizeed setting and a diagnostic test that is both rapid and accurate can better inform therapeutic decisions. Since patient encounters may be brief in this setting, the ability to provide a same-visit diagnosis also creates a new opportunity for physician to patient counselling that perhaps may not have been possible if the results were simply called to the patient at a later time. The menu will continue to grow. It is perhaps not surprising that early tests have been geared toward the most common afflictions seen in the ambulatory setting. As time goes on, and both demand and potential impact becomes more obvious, applications such as sexually transmitted infection STI testing are likely to become available.

Some of the more intriguing possibilities are STIs like gonorrhea and chlamydia. We must take a lesson from what happened with HIV testing. We learned the best way to curb this pandemic was to bring testing as close as possible to the patients.]
